Nikon has made a dedicated Coolpix digital camera slide duplicator for a while now. it's adequate, but even on a light table as illumination, it shows moderate vignetting, depending on camera model. contrast goes up and so i think you have to shoot RAW to get the contrast back down without losing too much shadow or highlight detail. i use mine when i have to scan a bunch of slides quickly and don't need high quality. mostly, i loan it out to friends who own Coolpix cameras and need to copy some slides or negatives of their own.
